Reticule

Edna C. Rex

National Gallery of Art

The image shows a decorative textile piece with two large symmetrical ornamental patterns in the center. The patterns resemble stylized plants or floral motifs in brown and yellow against a deep blue background. The top of the textile has a gold scalloped edge, and tassels on one side with green and gold shades. The bottom part of the textile has small, evenly spaced triangular shapes in pink and muted gold. The center of the textile features intricate designs, with the objects standing out vividly against the background.
